50K Word Written in One Month?

I might be crazy and truthfully, I haven't made that ultimate committment plunge yet, but I am thinking this is a great way to bust some creative blocks. Have you heard of NaNoWriMo? It stands for National Novel Writing Month and folks call it Nano. Are you willing to take the plunge?

In Praise of NaNoWriMo: National Novel Writing Month

NaNoWriMo is thirty days of all-out writing madness, and only the strong survive. What I love most about November is it gives regular people the chance to write a book — folks who don’t necessarily think of themselves as writers.

an insane task — write 50,000 words in thirty days.

That’s the true beauty of Nano, in my opinion — there’s no time to get in your own way. No time for writer’s block — no time for the Inner Editor to trip you up. You just go.

Don’t expect a whole novel to appear, fully fleshed out with all its parts intact, in thirty days. If you’re lucky, you’ll have the bare bones of a story, a few intriguing characters, and a strong start.

What’s the number one reason novels don’t get published? They don’t get started. What’s the number two reason? They don’t get finished
